LA TimesThe campaign rally site in Butler, Pa., after Donald Trump was wounded in an assassination attempt on Saturday. “The shooting also exposed the high degree of instability and unpredictability of U.S. politics, further triggering doubts among its allies over Washington’s leadership.” On Saturday, a gunman opened fire at a Trump rally, killing one attendee and striking the former president’s right ear. In 1991, Wang Huning, a senior leader of China’s Communist Party, published a book titled “America Against America,” recounting his time in the U.S. and what he saw as the flaws of capitalism and democracy that undermined the country’s future. “A weaker America, a divided America, that’s good for China.” China is facing a host of domestic issues, including a stagnating economy, declining birth rates and growing malaise among its middle class. “They’re putting forward this idea that there is this deep internal division in the U.S. that really affects its ability to be a leader on the world stage,” Prytherch said.
